Excursion Wadi walk & jeep adventure tour at Muscat

Experience Oman's scenic beauty during this full-day adventure by 4x4 with pic-nic lunch.

Depart the pier by 4x4 for your approximate one hour scenic drive along the coast. Arrive at Bimah Sinkhole, a limestone crater of turquoise waters, it is 50 by 70 meters wide and approximately 20 meters deep. The sinkhole was formed by a collapse of the surface layer due to dissolution of the underlying limestone. However, locals used to believe this sinkhole in the shape of a water well was created by a meteorite hence the Arabic name Hawiyyat Najm which means 'the deep well of the falling star'. Enjoy a quick stop at spectacular Wadi Tiwi for photo opportunity. Wadi Tiwi offers another variant of those deep gorges cut in the mountains and running to the sea: capture in your pictures the pools of emerald waters, the old villages and lush plantations.

Proceed to the pretty Wadi Shab. It is a very popular outdoor attraction for both locals and tourists. Upon arrival, begin your walk right up to the source of the Wadi through lush green plantations of lemons, banana, and dates. The fairly easy walk on a rocky path is dotted with pools and waterfalls. Enjoy a picnic lunch in the nature and relax your mind in these serene surroundings.

After lunch, commence one and half hour drive back to the ship.
